However it is possible to give a few guidelines Since a radar radiates a fan beam with a horizontal beam width of a few degrees and a vertical beam width of up to 15 the worst interference can be avoided by mounting the antenna at a different level meaning that the antenna is installed minimum 15 above or below the radar antenna Due to near field effects the benefit of this vertical separation could be reduced at short distances below approximately 10 m between radar antenna and the SAILOR FleetBroadband antenna Therefore it is recommended to ensure as much vertical separation as possible when the SAILOR FleetBroadband antenna has to be placed close to a radar antenna o amp Nn Pai n v te se n S RADAR aa Min 15 Placing the antenna 11 Chapter 2 Installing the system Radar distance 12 The minimum acceptable separation d min between a radar and the antenna is determined by the radar wavelength frequency and the power emitted by the radar The tables below show some rule of thumb minimum separation distances as a function of radar power at X and S band If the d min separation listed below is applied antenna damage is normally avoided d min is defined as the shortest distance between the radar antenna in any position and the surface of the SAILOR FleetBroadband antenna X band 3 cm 10 GHz damage distance SA
